Answer 1

I overrided get_list_display_links method and action to None.

class ChangeLogAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    actions = None
    list_display = ('asset', 'field', 'before_value', 'after_value', 'operator', 'made_at')

    fieldsets = [
        (None, {'fields': ()}),
    ]

    def __init__(self, model, admin_site):
        super().__init__(model, admin_site)

    def get_list_display_links(self, request, list_display):
        super().get_list_display_links(request, list_display)
        return None

Answer 2

In your model admin set:

list_display_links = (None,)

That should do it. (Works in 1.1.1 anyway.)

Link to docs: list_display_links

Answer 3

just write list_display_links = None in your admin

Answer 4

with django 1.6.2 you can do like this:

class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def get_list_display_links(self, request, list_display):
        return []

it will hide all auto generated links.

Answer 5

As user, omat, mentioned in a comment above, any attempt to simply remove the links does not prevent users from still accessing the change page manually. However, that, too, is easy enough to remedy:

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin)
    # Other stuff here
    def change_view(self, request, obj=None):
        from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
        from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('admin:myapp_mymodel_changelist'))

In more "recent" versions of Django, since at least 1.9, it is possible to simple determine the add, change and delete permissions on the admin class. See the django admin documentation for reference. Here is an example:

@admin.register(Object)
class Admin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    def has_add_permission(self, request):
        return False

    def has_change_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return False

    def has_delete_permission(self, request, obj=None):
        return False
